Renaissance et baroque est le premier ouvrage d’histoire de l’art à envisager les choses autrement et à démontrer que le baroque relève au contraire d’une esthétique propre. Pour définir ses valeurs formelles, le jeune Heinrich Wölfflin va les opposer à celles du classicisme de la Renaissance. Il compare les oeuvres de Bramante, Raphaël, Peruzzi, Sangallo, Michel-Ange, Vignole, della Porta, Maderna, et s’appuie sur des exemples romains. À travers l’évolution des styles et des goûts dans la peinture mais surtout dans l’architecture des églises, palais, villas, fontaines et jardins, c’est l’expression de l’état d’âme de la société italienne des XVIe et XVIIe siècles qu’il révèle.
